Re: [g-a-devel]Accessibility for cdplayer applet

My opinion is that name and description would be adequate for these two 
fields.  then just emit name-changed and description-changed when they 
change so the AT can know about the changes.  Value doesn't work well for 
time values, I.E. values which are based on hours:minutes:seconds format, 
so I don't think it would work well.

Just my opinion...
